Philly garage rock trio St. James and the Apostles have a big sound for just three guys. You can attribute some of that to Mike Kiker on keyboards, who plays Ray Manzerek style, juggling both bass lines and higher-end lead parts. Certainly Jeff Castner's thundering drums are another component, as well as frontman Jamie Mahon, ... Continue reading
Here's another new record from L.A. songstress, Lucille Ghatti. Her new LP, High Grade , will be releasing later today featuring Mike G, Joey Fatts, Tay Walker, ILL Camille and MidtownPat, with production by Thelonious Martin, Polyester The Saint, MidtownPat, Leken Tayor and DJ Wes. Before we get into the full project, we have one last preview in the form of "St. James". Check it out below.
Savoy Turkish Bath in Duke of York Street, 1951 - "A vigorous lathering on a marble slab with a wooden pillow." Late in 1951, on a cold foggy afternoon, the type that only London in those days could serve up, a young woman called Grace Robertson, one of the few female professional photographers of the time, spent a day amongst the regular clientele in the tarnished and faded elegance of the Savoy Turkish Baths in London's St James.

L ate yesterday evening I got a phone call from my former Allister bandmate Scottie (currently of The Get Go ) and we were discussing our plans for band practice tomorrow afternoon during which Scottie mentioned something about the practice space being near where Santa's Village was in a rented storage unit that Allister used to practice in.

My attempt to post an MP3 by every band/artist from Lollapalooza (excluding those on the kids stage) has finally come to an end. Hooray! At this point, I think I got almost everyone except Sa Ra, Manishevitz, The Burden Brothers, Moses Mayfield, Assassins, and Makeshifte. I did post a few by nands that cancelled from the orignial lineup so hopefully you can all forgive me. Posts will be infrequent over the weekend as I take in the sights and sounds of Lollapalooza and a full wrap-up will follow next [...]
